Have any design professionals worked on this space? No

Why is your home the smallest, coolest space?

I believe my space reflects every aspect of my work and personality, and it also exudes tropical vibes. I absolutely adore its vibrant and inviting atmosphere, as well as the abundance of natural light. I have no reservations about mixing patterns and colors. Artwork adorns every corner, and I have made a conscious effort to decorate using only local brands and thrifted furniture.

How does your home reflect you?

Every inch of my home reveals the path I've traveled as an illustrator and creative director, while reflecting my spontaneous nature and cherished childhood memories. For example, the dining area reflects that last aspect. The skillful interplay of rattan, adorned with vibrant and lively colors, transports me back to carefree days and evokes the rich craftsmanship rooted in Colombia.
